Haddenham have new product called comfiwave breast texture garment that is great for at home wear for lymphatic swelling in breast, there are also other brands of texture pads if it is lymphatic swelling. See your doctor , OT or lympahtic therpaist for more info & diagnosis.
Aloso if there is a sozo /impedimed machine near you ,you can get a 'water' measurement , then follow up in 3 mths and see if it changes.this can help detect lymphoedma before it even shows.Really important to act on any swelling and start to learn how to move the lymph fluid yourself at home everyday so it doesn't block up.The tighter it gets , the harder it is to move.Plus you don't want to risk dreaded cellulitis infections which require fast antibiotics.
BTW Anyone

this live event and its really very valuable information to help with
